First off those guys, save eberle are first overall draft picks. There is a big difference. Secondly what did you expect out of Okposo this seaon, he just scored 24g this past season? Take into consideration the physical and phyological injury he took when he hit the boards. Take a real look at the guys taken around him.

I agree about Okposo. I still think he can develop even more. I'm not as sold on Bailey. And I think part of the problem with Okposo was that too much was expected out of him. As soon as the Isles picked him you heard "future captain" and "the next Iginla". I think that whole next Iginla thing stuck in peoples heads and had him doomed from the start. If he is a 25 goal/year guy, that's fine. I am sure isles fans can live with that. I just think some had him pegged as a 30-35 goal scorer.
